Karl Ehlert

Before racing 5 seasons of cyclocross, Karl had raced a combination road and mountain bike racing. He is currently a masters 45+ cat 3 on the road and expert category in the dirt. His best results came while racing in the 45+B’s where he won 2 local race series (Surf City and CCCX) and unofficial best all around racer (BAR) for the season.

45 A’s is a very tough competitive group, especially in Northern California. Karl’s race results last year were mid-pack, but the training process, endorphin rush, team camaraderie and overall fitness benefits made it all worthwhile…at least for one more season.
